Short cold maceration of the grapes (24 hours – 8/10°C), followed by fermentation with skin contact for 8-10 days at a controlled temperature of 24 °C, with frequent pumping over in order to enhance and preserve the fruit aromas. At the end of fermentation, the temperature is gradually elevated to 30°C in order to allow extraction of color from the skins.

The growing cycle began slightly in advance. We had a very rainy spring and cool temperatures, and well below the seasonal average, in the summer months. This meant that the maturation of the grapes took place with a delay of about 10 days compared to the previous years. The harvest of early varieties was facilitated by a rather cool beginning of September, while late varieties enjoyed a rise in temperatures in the last decade of the month, which allowed for a full ripening of the grapes.

TASTING

The color is ruby red, intense and deep. The perfume is fresh, fruity and complex at first glance, enhanced by hints of cherry, plum jam and red fruits, alongside hints of vanilla and licorice given by the wood. On the palate, it is velvety and well balanced, with the presence of sweet tannins. A wine with a long-lasting finish, enjoyable right away but also suitable for a good aging.

A winter of heavy snowfall was followed by a spring with normal rainfall. Initial phases of the vegetative cycle proceeded regularly until the second ten days of May, when the high temperatures accelerated growth and resulted in early flowering and fruit set. Rainfall in June provided good hydric reserve in the soil, allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes about ten days in advance. Overall this has been a good harvest with peaks of excellence.

TASTING

Deep ruby red color. On the nose fresh fruity aromas with notes of red fruits, cherries and prunes jam, well integrated with notes of vanilla and licorice. On the palate it’s velvety, full-bodied and harmonious, with gentle tannins. Persistent in the finish, it’s suitable for a long aging.

Heavy winter snows followed by copious rainfall throughout the warm spring combined to delay the start of the vine’s growth cycle. A return to average summer temperatures helped the grapes to recover and achieve normal ripeness. Dry weather and a good difference between day and night temperatures at the end of August/beginning of September yielded an excellent harvest.

Winter and Spring temperatures were a bit warmer than average and with less rainfall, allowing the vine to begin its growing cycle early and finish with a harvest 15 days earlier than the previous year. Rainfall in June and late August assisted the grapes in achieving optimal levels of ripeness, setting the conditions for a well made, balanced wine.

TASTING

Intense and deep ruby red color. Fresh on the nose, fruity and complex at the very first impact, followed by hints of red fruits, cherry and plum jam. The contribution of the oak aging is very discrete and clean, with typical notes of vanilla and liqorice. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and balanced, thanks to sweet tannins that make it pleasantly smooth. Very persistent fruity finish. Immediately enjoyable with a promise of good aging potential.

Spring conditions were quite regular, with temperatures below the season averages. From mid August till mid September we suddenly had a warmth wave, with very good temperature difference between day and night. The last week of September and the first of October have been characterized by a rotation of sunny and rainy days. The training strategies in the vineyards, the watchful selection of the grapes and the technologies available in the winery, have allowed us to produce high quality wines even with the late harvested varieties.

TASTING

Intense and deep ruby red color. Fresh on the nose, fruity and complex at the very first impact. Clear notes of red fruits, cherry and prunes jam. Oak hints are very discrete and clean, with notes of vanilla and liquorices. On the palate the wine is smooth, big and harmonious, thanks to its light and silky tannins. Very long finish. Enjoyable since now for a long period.
